CONCERNS from teachers at schools (Glasgow schools ‘unlikely to re-open full time’ as senior teacher reveals staff fears, Thursday)? 

Are these the same teachers who will be getting their groceries at the supermarket? 

Are they not worried about the staff there? Or the hospital staff still working 24 hours? 
Worried about them?

Or the bus and train drivers? The postmen? The binmen? 

Are the senior teachers worried about them? 

Teachers in their insular world always think they are a special case. And always look for any excuse to keep the schools closed and extend the holidays. 

Where’s a snowfall or a burst pipe when you need one, eh?

I HOPE none of the complainants of the mess in Chryston (Glasgow Times, Thursday) were dog walkers on their way to the graveyard! 

The goody-two-shoes would complain about that and then go on to let their dogs run rampant through all the graves. 

I’ve witnessed (and challenged) it time and again at our local cemetery and it’s upsetting, offensive and sacrilegious. 

They allow their dogs to bound over graves and run wild. Flowers get strewn and sometimes their mess isn’t picked up!

SO William Boyd (Letters, Thursday) thinks that the current restrictions are an over-reaction to a virus and seems to be more concerned about businesses not making money. 

Doesn’t he know that we have the second highest death rate 
in the entire world due to this “virus”?

The lack of compassion we see from some folk beggars belief.

GLASGOW City Council at its best couldn’t organise a raffle. 

What are we paying rates for? Get the recycle centres open immediately.

WHERE will the so-called do-gooders go when they go back to work?

It will be back to me, me, me, I have, what I need, and to hell with anyone else.

Good. Back to normal. No more hypocrisy.

AS well as the large death toll from the coronavirus, it has also caused havoc with the economies of countries in Europe and from around the world. 

If and when their economies return to anything like normal, their will be many previously unanswered questions to be addressed. 

In the UK, why were the financial needs of the NHS not met instantly to help contain the deadly fast-approaching coronavirus, instead of the NHS being treated secondary to the ongoing Brexit negotiations? 

Due to the absence in many instances of the necessary equipment needed, the NHS has lost many valuable staff who have died from the virus. 

The silence from the smirking Nigel Farage, who told us how much the NHS would benefit from Brexit, is deafening.

JUDGING by the volume of traffic on the road in the last few days, you would think the lockdown has already been eased.

Where are all these motorists suddenly going in such a rush?
